If any one thinks that Lake Charles
is not spreading out and building up
rapidly let the doubling Thomas read
the following: Mr.. J. M. Taylor is
putting up neat cottage residence
near Ryan street, across Pithon's
Coulee; three new buildings are 10
course of construction on Bilbo street !;
Mr.. Felix Perkins new two.story resi-
dence will soon be completed; Mr..
Paul Moss has just commenced large
residence on the corner Of Bilbo and
Lawrence streets; Mr.. ]. G. Suttles is
constructing handsome residence
corner Of Ryan and Lawrence streets;
Mr.. J. ]. Bullock is putting lumber
on the ground for nice residence !;
Mr.. ]. ]. Martin, our young friend at
the depot, is building large two
story structure out there, and Rosteet's
building is being neatly painted. We
could mention dozen more houses in
course of construction throughout the
town, but this list will suffice for the
present, and will show that Lake
Charles is just what the EcHo claims it
is--the most fourishing and rapidly
growing town in Southwestern Lou
isiana.

The Town Council, at its meeting
on the 7th inst, appropriated $3.50
for the use and benefit of the Agricul-
tural Convention, that meets at
Lake Charles on the 22d inst, which
is very commendable on the part of
our town authorities, and shows that
they are awake to the Importance of
the occasion and arc determined that
our guests shall be properly entertain
ed during their sojourn here.
The Council also, on the 9Th inst,
granted a right of way for street
railroad, through Ryan and other
streets, from the present depot of the
Louisiana Western Railroad to the
southern or southwestern portion Of
the town. The granting of this right
of way was wise move on the part
of the Council. and no doubt will
meet with the hearty approval of a
large majority of our citizens, as it
will furnish a cheap mode of travel
to the public, and especially to mer-
chants and others who have business
to transact daily at the depot.
